4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Scott Monument. Take a break from Edinburgh with a short trip to Rosslyn Chapel in Roslin, about 30 minutes away. The adventure continues: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, appreciate the extensive heritage of Edinburgh Old Town, explore the striking landscape at Arthur's Seat, and walk around Holyrood Park.
